# polyint

Polynomial integration

## Syntax

• q = polyint(p,k)
example
• q = polyint(p)
example

## Description

example

q = polyint(p,k) returns the integral of the polynomial represented by the coefficients in p using a constant of integration k.

example

q = polyint(p) assumes a constant of integration k = 0.

## Examples

Evaluate

 

Create a vector to represent the polynomial .

p = [3 0 -4 10 -25]; 

Use polyint to integrate the polynomial using a constant of integration equal to 0.

q = polyint(p) 
q = 0.6000 0 -1.3333 5.0000 -25.0000 0 

Find the value of the integral, I, by evaluating q at the limits of integration.

a = -1; b = 3; I = diff(polyval(q,[a b])) 
I = 49.0667 

Evaluate

 

Create vectors to represent the polynomials and .

p = [1 0 -1 0 0 1]; v = [1 0 1]; 

Multiply the polynomials and integrate the resulting expression using a constant of integration k = 3.

k = 3; q = polyint(conv(p,v),k) 
q = Columns 1 through 7 0.1250 0 0 0 -0.2500 0.3333 0 Columns 8 through 9 1.0000 3.0000 

Find the value of I by evaluating q at the limits of integration.

a = 0; b = 2; I = diff(polyval(q,[a b])) 
I = 32.6667 

## Input Arguments

collapse all

Polynomial coefficients, specified as a vector. For example, the vector [1 0 1] represents the polynomial ${x}^{2}+1$, and the vector [3.13 -2.21 5.99] represents the polynomial $3.13{x}^{2}-2.21x+5.99$.
